Human populations that do not have contact with the psychedelic tremendum are neurotic because they are male ego dominated.

Why does mathematics describe nature. That's a deeper question than most.

The thing that is so powerful about the psychedelics is that they perform on demand, which almost in principle you cannot expect of a mystical experience because that would be essentially man ordering God at man's whim, which is not how it's supposed to work.
